James, principal of the jBerkeley High School, Berkeley .hu found its most public spirited citizen. Rather than see the streets leading to | his school littered with papers, Princi-| pal James has hired a boy to keep it clean and out of his own pocket pays the boy's weekly salary. Mr. James' unusual interest in the city’s looks was suggested by com-| plaints the people of Allston way, be- | tween Shattuck avenue and Grove street, made about the way the stu-| dents walking along that thoroughfare littered it with candy bags and scrap | papers. He told the students in meet- | ing that it wasn't a very dignified thing to do and agreed that if they would ! stop scattering papers he would hire a | boy to clean up the street. The stu- dents agreed and now a small boy pa- trols the street every day, picking up| the papers of other days. | RS s | WILL DEDICATE THEIR !

Of the men who sit in the cab of a lo- comotive and turn the machine loose in a race of 100 miles in 100 minutes it {is' sald they are the most modest individ- uals of the human family. This is a fact sald to be clearly shown by a talk with any of the Chicago en- gineers who have any such record. It! idenced not so much from what they when questioned as from what they not and cannot be induced to say. or not two men in a dozen of fast| ners are given to talking about what v have accomplished. Much less are | they inclined to pass any opinion of the capabilities of any other engineer. Take it all in all the men who ride the fron horses in races that are appalling are the oddest characters in the jumpers of a mechanic. A short time ago a spe- cial train was chartered to make a fast run down the country. The engineer in taking coal at a station was delayed by the coal-chute apron becoming unman- ageable. The man who sat in the cab ahead was as cool as an iceberg, but no sooner had the apron been holsted out of the way than he opened up the valve and began a race that for speed and smoothness was one of a thousand. “Arriving at our destination,” sald the conductor who had charge of the train, “'the engineer found awaiting him a tele- gram from the general superintendent of the road. who pald him the highest com- pliment that an official could extend to an employe. The man read the telegram and shoved it into the pocket of his blouse without a change of countenance. No one, from looking under the peak of his cap, could tell what sort of a feeling had been wakened, even If it affected him at alL” A fast runner being approached by an outsider who wants to know something about the life of an engineer will inva- | riably be asked to see so and so, who is another engineer on the same run or division. “He’s a mighty good engineer and can tell you more of what you want to know | than I ean,” and then he goes about his puffing steed feelingjfor hot places and poking a long-spouted oiler under the ma-- chinery. It is 10 to 1 that the other man will get out of it in the same way. Few engineers who have been found out of fast runners will make any compari- {sons of any kind of their runs with those | of other engineers. There is one thing, however, about which an engineer of this class is “touchy.” Suppose he has made a fast run, but has been lald out or nia, SPAING VALLEY ' |FYENTS INSOGIETY) LOSES 75 SUIT son’s most brilllant affairs was given Heavy Judgment Given to-day by Mrs. Seth Mann, her guests numbering more than a hundred and in Favor of Mrs. J.

Osakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 21. ‘What is said to be one of the most extensive wildcat mining frauds ex- ploited in recent years has been brought to light by the flling of three suits this afternoon by alleged victims, who have been caught by glittering promises. The plaintiffs come from three different States and it is presumed that the op- erations have been carried on through- out the entire West. The alleged promoters of the fraud are Martha A. Odell and G. G. Fre- mont. Suits were Instituted to-day against them by Arthur H. Lee, George ‘W. Kent and John H.

In the latter eighties the Spring Val- ley invaded the field and built a dam above the place where the irrigating| company diverted its water, letting| ! only a small amount escape. The suit was brought and, endléss arguments have been indulged in. Dur- ing the course of the trial the amount of water in inches and gallons that ran through the various ditches of the ir- rigating company have been computed and this amount in gallons is in the neighborhood of 3,000,000 a day. By his remarks Judge Greene has confirmed | the right of the irrigating company to| ! the use of this water as against the claims of the Spring Valley. Not the least interesting part of the victory is the judgment of the costs of | the suit which the Spring Valley will have to pay. Attorneys W. R. Davis | and T. C. Huxley for Mrs. Clough were | put upon the stand to-day and inter- | rogated in regard to their services by Judge Greene. They ask $2.,000 each. W. H. Ford, as associate counsel, asks 36000.

The claim has been made that the wages of workingmen have been raised. This has been done, however, only in specific cases, and then usually when threats to strike were made by the unions. In no instance has the raise in wages been in proportion teo the advance in the cost of living. If we look closely at the labor statistics for the last two or three years we shall see that in nearly every case waere there has been a raise of wages among one class of workmen there has bren a * decrease in another. Thus, in the re- port of the Labor Bulletin of the State of New York for Junme, 1903, the avers age quarterly earnings of certain ore ganized trade unionists show an ‘n- crease over 1897, but the true reason for this, as explained in the report, is that the principal increase in the meu's earnings is in the growth of the groups, that range from $600 to $900 a year, at the expense of those who earn only $300 to $600 annually. The proportion 6f men now earning less than 3300 a year is larger than it pas In 1902.—Brooklyn Eagle. ——e— Effects of Alcohol on Animals.

It is interesting to note the instinctive aversion of animals to “Kittens refuse to drink milk with even the odor of alcohol about [} The dogs, the most intelligent of the animals experimented upon. “showed many of the nervous symp- toms in evidence in human beings when under the long-continued influ- ence of alcohol.” Fear is immediately recognized as a characteristic feature in alcoholic Insanity, and delirium tremens is the most terrible fear pwy-
